Landscaping Services Huntsville AL | Call Jones Landscaping

We assess the extent of the root intrusion and lawn damage. Our approach involves carefully pruning problematic surface roots where possible, followed by topdressing and overseeding the affected areas with robust grass varieties suited to our local climate. This method repairs the lawn while promoting healthy root growth deeper into the soil, away from the surface.

For Huntsville's common clay-based soils, core aeration is the most effective treatment. We use professional equipment to remove small plugs of soil, which relieves compaction, allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the grass roots, and improves drainage. We often combine this with a tailored fertilization plan to jumpstart recovery.

Absolutely. Through proactive root zone management, we can help guide root growth away from your lawn's surface. Strategies include deep-root fertilization for trees to encourage downward growth, creating dedicated mulched beds around tree bases, and selecting appropriate grass and groundcover species for shaded, root-heavy areas common in Huntsville neighborhoods.
